Effects of Heating Processing on Microstructure and Magnetic Properties of Mn-Zn Ferrites Prepared via Chemical Co-precipitation

The fine powders of Mn-Zn ferrites with uniform size were prepared via chemical co- precipitation method. X-ray diffraction analysis （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）, frequency dependence of permeability and metallographical microscope were used to investigate the crystal structure, surface topography and magnetic properties of the powders and the sintering samples. The experimental results demonstrate that the precursor powders have formed a pure phase cubic spinel MnxZn1-xfe2O4 while in the reactor and show definite magnetism, which can solve the difficult issue in washing process effectively. When calcined beneath 450 ℃, the powders have intact crystal form and the crystallite size is less than 20 nm. Comparison tests of sintering temperatures show that 1 300 ℃ is the ideal sintering temperature for Mn-Zn ferrites prepared by using the chemical co-precipitation.

High-rate removal of As(Ⅲ) from aqueous system with sulfhydryl magnetic biological bamboo charcoal nanocomposites prepared by chemical co-precipitation method

Sulfhydryl magnetic biological bamboo charcoal nanocomposite(BBC@nFe-SH)was prepared by chemical co-precipitation method for the robust capture of As(Ⅲ)from aqueous solutions.The novel BBC@nFe-SH shows favorable magnetic field strength(83376 A/m),which enables BBC@nFe-SH to be quickly recovered from aqueous solution.The maximum As(Ⅲ)adsorption capacity is as high as 98.63 mg/g at pH 5.0 and 40°C,reaching reaction equilibrium within 120 min.Various characterizations(e.g.,SEM,FTIR,VSM and XPS)suggest that As(Ⅲ)prefers to coordinate with surface oxygen groups bonded to the surface.BBC@nFe-SH displayed high stability and recyclability throughout the removal process,which could be easily activated by 1 mol/L NaOH after usage.Thus,the novel BBC@nFe-SH has promising applications for As(Ⅲ)treatment.

Optimization of Preparation of Fe_(3)O_(4)-L by Chemical Co-Precipitation and Its Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions

To address the serious pollution of heavy metals in AMD,the difficulty and the high cost of treatment,Fe_(3)O_(4)-L was prepared by the chemical co-precipitation method.Based on the single-factor and RSM,the effects of particle size,total Fe concentration,the molar ratio of Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+)and water bath temperature on the removal of AMD by Fe_(3)O_(4)-L prepared by chemical co-precipitation method were analyzed.Static adsorption experiments were conducted on Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+)and Pb^(2+)using Fe_(3)O_(4)-L prepared under optimal conditions as adsorbents.The adsorption properties and mechanisms were analyzed by combining SEM-EDS,XRD and FTIR for characterization.The study showed that the effects of particle size,total Fe concentration and the molar ratio of Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+)are larger.Obtained by response surface optimization analysis,the optimum conditions for the preparation of Fe_(3)O_(4)-L were a particle size of 250 mesh,a total Fe concentration of 0.5 mol/L,and a molar ratio of Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+)of 1:2.Under these conditions,the removal rates of Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+),and Pb^(2+)were 94.52%,88.49%,and 96.69%respectively.The adsorption of Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+)and Pb^(2+)by Fe_(3)O_(4)-L prepared under optimal conditions reached equilibrium at 180 min,with removal rates of 99.99%,85.27%,and 97.48%,respectively.The adsorption reaction of Fe_(3)O_(4)-L for Cu^(2+)and Zn^(2+)is endothermic,while that for Pb^(2+)is exothermic.Fe_(3)O_(4)-L can still maintain a high adsorption capacity after five cycles of adsorption-desorption experiments.Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+)and Pb^(2+)mainly exist as CuFe_(2)O_(4),Zn(OH)2,ZnFe_(2)O_(4)and PbS after being adsorbed by Fe_(3)O_(4)-L,which is the result of the combination of physical diffusion,ion exchange and surface complexation reaction.

Study of the electrochemical properties of a transition metallic ions modified electrode in acidic VOSO_4 solution

Graphite material was used as the electrode for an all-vanadium redox flow battery, and the electrode was modified by transition metallic ions to enhance its electrochemical behavior. An porous graphite composite electrode has high specific surface area and high current density. The electrode modified by transition metallic ions has improved catalysis behavior that can catalyze the V（Ⅱ）-V（Ⅴ） redox reaction showed by cyclic voltammograms. This article studied the impedance of the modified electrode by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, and approved that the electrode modified by Co^2＋ and Mn^2＋ has a lower charge transfer resistance than the non-modified electrode. The effect of average particle size distribution is at lower frequencies that the slope of Warburg impedance is reduced by large particle size distribution. The voltage efficiency of the Co^2＋ modified electrode test cell is 81.5%, which is higher than that of the non-modified electrode.

Effect of Ferric Chloride on the Properties of Biological Sludge in Co-precipitation Phosphorus Removal Process

This paper studied the effect of ferric chloride on waste sludge digestion,dewatering and sedimentation under the optimized doses in co-precipitation phosphorus removal process.The experimental results showed that the concentration of mixed liquid suspended solid(MLSS) was 2436 mg.L-1 and 2385 mg.L-1 in co-precipitation phosphorus removal process(CPR) and biological phosphorous removal process(BPR),respectively.The sludge reduction ratio for each process was 22.6% and 24.6% in aerobic digestion,and 27.6% and 29.9% in anaerobic digestion,respectively.Due to the addition of chemical to the end of aeration tank,the sludge content of CPR was slightly higher than that of BPR,but the sludge reduction rate for both processes had no distinct difference.The sludge volume index(SVI) and sludge specific resistance of BPR were 126 ml.g-1 and 11.7×1012 m.kg-1,respectively,while those of CPR were only 98 ml.g-1 and 7.1×1012 m.kg-1,indicating that CPR chemical could improve sludge settling and dewatering.

Characteristics of Chemical Speciation in PM_(1)in Six Representative Regions in China

A better knowledge of aerosol properties is of great significance for elucidating the complex mechanisms behind frequently occurring haze pollution events.In this study,we examine the temporal and spatial variations in both PM_(1)and its major chemical constituents using three-year field measurements that were collected in six representative regions in China between 2012 and 2014.Our results show that both PM_(1)and its chemical compositions varied significantly in space and time,with high PM_(1)loadings mainly observed in the winter.By comparing chemical constituents between clean and polluted episodes,we find that the elevated PM_(1)mass concentration during pollution events should be largely attributable to significant increases in organic matter(OM)and inorganic aerosols like sulfate,nitrate,and ammonium(SNA),indicative of the critical role of primary emissions and secondary aerosols in elevating PM_(1)pollution levels.The ratios of PM_(1)/PM2.5 are found to be generally high in Shanghai and Guangzhou,while relatively low ratios are seen in Xi’an and Chengdu,indicating anthropogenic emissions were more likely to accumulate in forms of finer particles.With respect to the relative importance of chemical components and meteorological factors quantified via statistical modeling practices,we find that primary emissions and secondary aerosols were the two leading factors contributing to PM_(1)variations,though meteorological factors also played important roles in regulating the dispersion of atmospheric PM.

A Smog Chamber Facility for Qualitative and Quantitative Study on Atmospheric Chemistry and Secondary Organic Aerosol

In order to investigate the atmospheric oxidation processes and the formation of secondary organic aerosol （SOA）, an indoor environmental reaction smog chamber are constructed and characterized. The system consists of the collapsible ～830 L FEP Teflon film main reactor, in which the atmospheric chemical reactions take place and the formation of SOA occurs under the simulated atmospheric conditions, and the diverse on-line gas- and particle-phase instrumentation, such as the proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer, the synchrotron radiation photoionization mass spectrometer, the aerosol laser time-of-flight mass spectrometer, and other traditional commercial instruments. The initial characterization experiments are described, concerning the temperature and ultraviolet light intensity, the reactivity of the pure air, the wall loss rates of gaseous compounds and particulate matter. And the initial evaluation experiments for SOA yields from the ozonolysis of α-pinene and for mass spectra of the products resulting from the photooxidation of OH initiated isoprene are also presented, which indicate the applicability of this facility on the studies of gas-phase chemical mechanisms as well as the formation of SOA expected in the atmosphere.

Secondary organic carbon quantification and source apportionment of PM_(10) in Kaifeng, China

During 2005, the filter samples of ambient PM10 from five sites and the source samples of particulate matter were collected in Kaifeng, Henan Province of China. Nineteen elements, water-soluble ions, total carbon （TC） and organic carbon （OC） contained in samples were analyzed. Seven contributive source types were identified and their contributions to ambient PM10 were estimated by chemical mass balance （CMB） receptor model. Weak associations between the concentrations of organic carbon and element carbon （EC） were observed during the sampling periods, indicating that there was secondary organic aerosol pollution in the urban atmosphere. An indirect method of ＂OC/EC minimum ratio＂ was applied to estimate the concentration of secondary organic carbon （SOC）. The results showed that SOC contributed 26.2%, 32.4% and 18.0% of TC in spring, summer-fall and winter, respectively, and the annual average SOC concentration was 7.07 μg/m^3, accounting for 5.73% of the total mass in ambient PM10. The carbon species concentrations in ambient PM10 were recalculated by subtracting SOC concentrations from measured concentrations of TC and OC to increase the compatibility of source and receptor measurements for CMB model.

Study of lithium/polypyrrole secondary batteries with Lithium as cathode and polypyrrole anode

Lithium/polypyrrole （Li/PPy） batteries were fabricated using lithium sheet as cathode, PPy as anode, microporous membrane polypropylene/polyethylene/polypropylene （PP/PE/PP） composite as separator and LiPF6/ethylene carbonate-dimethyl carbonate-methyl ethyl carbonate （EC-DMC-EMC） as electrolyte. Polypyrrole was prepared by chemical polymerization. Certain fundamental electrochemical performances were investigated. Properties of the batteries were characterized and tested by SEM, galvanostatic charge/discharge tests, cyclic voltammetry （CV）, and a.c. impedance spectroscopy. The influences of separator, morphology, and conductivity of PPy anode, cold-molded pressure, and electric current on the performances of the batteries were studied. Using PP/PE/PP membranes as separator, the battery showed good storage stability and cycling property. The conductivity of materials rather than morphology affected the behavior of the battery. The higher the conductivity, the better performances the cells had. Proper cold-molded pressure 20 MPa of the anode pellet would make the properties of the cells good and the fitted charge/discharge current was 0.1 mA. The cells showed excellent performance with 97%-100% coulombic efficiency. The highest discharge capacity of 95.2 mAh/g was obtained.

Numerical research on adverse effect of muzzle flow formed by muzzle brake considering secondary combustion

The simulation of the artillery interior and intermediate ballistics problem is performed to investigate the influence of a gas dynamics device,muzzle brake,on the muzzle hazard phenomena,such as flash and blast waves.The correlation of the chemical reactions with the characteristics of the muzzle flow field is analyzed by the simulation for a further understanding of the secondary combustion phenomenon of the muzzle flow.The novel structure of muzzle flow caused by the muzzle brake is presented by the simultaneous solution of the interior ballistics model and multi-species Navier-Stokes equations in order to analyze the influence of the muzzle brake structure on the chemical reactions.The secondary combustion of the muzzle flow due to the oxygen-supplement chemical reactions is obtained by the chemical reaction kinetic model.The interaction of the blast waves released from the muzzle brake is illustrated in detail and the mechanism of the formation of muzzle flash is analyzed.This research provides a reference for the studies on the suppression of the muzzle flash.

FIB Secondary Etching Method for Fabrication of Fine CNT Forest Metamaterials

Anisotropic materials, like carbon nanotubes(CNTs), are the perfect substitutes to overcome the limitations of conventional metamaterials; however, the successful fabrication of CNT forest metamaterial structures is still very challenging. In this study, a new method utilizing a focused ion beam(FIB) with additional secondary etching is presented, which can obtain uniform and fine patterning of CNT forest nanostructures for metamaterials and ranging in sizes from hundreds of nanometers to several micrometers. The influence of the FIB processing parameters on the morphology of the catalyst surface and the growth of the CNT forest was investigated, including the removal of redeposited material,decreasing the average surface roughness(from 0.45 to 0.15 nm), and a decrease in the thickness of the Fe catalyst.The results showed that the combination of FIB patterning and secondary etching enabled the growth of highly aligned, highdensity CNT forest metamaterials. The improvement in the quality of single-walled CNTs(SWNTs), defined by the very high G/D peak ratio intensity of 10.47, demonstrated successful fine patterning of CNT forest for the first time. With a FIB patterning depth of 10 nm and a secondary etching of 0.5 nm, a minimum size of 150 nm of CNT forest metamaterials was achieved. The development of the FIB secondary etching method enabled for the first time, the fabrication of SWNT forest metamaterials for the optical and infrared regime, for future applications, e.g., in superlenses, antennas,or thermal metamaterials.

Ultra-fine W-Y_(2)O_(3)composite powders prepared by an improved chemical co-precipitation method and its interface structure after spark plasma sintering

Y_(2)O_(3)-doped tungsten(W-Y_(2)O_(3))composite powders prepared by a traditional chemical co-precipitation method possess obvious bimodal distribution in size,which would deteriorate their sintering properties.The bimodal distribution can be effectively eliminated by an improved chemical co-precipitation method,in which the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide(CTAB)was innovatively employed.The reduced powders with excellent uniformity have an average grain size of only~31.5 nm.It is noteworthy that Y_(2)O_(3)particles would fuse and grow with the growth of W grains during subsequent spark plasma sintering(SPS)process,which was rarely reported in relevant literature before.On top of that,phase interfaces of sintered W-Y_(2)O_(3)alloys were systematically analyzed.Compared to the intracrystalline oxygen content,the oxygen content at W/Y_(2)O_(3)phase boundaries is relatively higher.It can be found that the(110)crystal planes of W form coherent,semi-coherent,and non-coherent interfaces with different crystal planes of Y_(2)O_(3).The weak interfacial bonding strength between W and Y_(2)O_(3)phases results from relatively more oxygen impurities as well as more semi-coherent/non-coherent interfaces at phase boundaries compared with the inner W grains.

废机油残留物再生剂对老化沥青动态力学性能和组分迁移的影响

目前,再生沥青的研究主要集中在老化沥青性能的恢复上,而对老化后再生沥青性能变化的研究较少。本研究以自制的两种废机油残留物再生剂(REOB1、REOB2)对老化基质沥青进行再生,并对再生沥青进行短期老化(TFOT)和长期老化(PAV)。采用动态剪切流变仪(DSR)和薄层棒状色谱仪(TLC-FID)分析再生沥青及其老化后的动态力学性能和化学组分变化情况。结果表明,两种REOB再生剂均能使老化基质沥青的性能恢复至原样沥青水平,并且REOB2再生剂与老化基质沥青的相容性优于REOB1再生剂;采用CAM模型对沥青复数模量、相位角主曲线进行拟合,并以原样沥青主曲线为参考,对老化与再生沥青拟合数据进行归一化处理,发现两种REOB再生剂均可以恢复老化基质沥青的复数模量和相位角。在二次老化过程中,RA+REOB再生沥青的归一化复模量指标(NCMI)在低频和中频范围内逐渐增大,即使经过长期老化,其复模量仍低于长期老化的基质沥青;而归一化相角指标(NPAI)在中频范围内的下降幅度明显大于低频范围和高频范围内的下降幅度,RA+REOB1再生沥青经过PAV老化后的NPAI低于长期老化后的基质沥青;随着老化程度的加深,RA+REOB再生沥青的化学组分从芳烃组分向胶质迁移,REOB1再生沥青经PAV老化后轻组分损失最大。

基于主次屏障的化工装置事故根因分析及“双预”机制应用

双重预防机制(“双预”)是当前国内危化品领域正在广泛推行的一种风险管控系统,但目前缺乏底层和运行层面的理论架构,更缺乏以根因分析(RCA)结果来指导实施“双预”的方法工具,为此,提出“主-次”屏障理论与事件与原因因素分析(ECF)相结合的可视化主-次屏障(VPSB)模型。ECF作为一种典型的RCA技术,由特定主/次屏障失效模式组成灾害事件的致因路径,为VPSB建模提供可视化框图。应用该模型对英国石油BP公司的Texas爆炸中的典型事故场景进行隐患识别和RCA,获得“双预”相关管理措施的具体失效模式,通过与美国化学品安全委员会(CSB)和英国石油(BP)公司对该事件的调查结果对比,发现CSB和BP公司将人的不安全动作作为直接原因开展深层次的原因分析,将关注点放在了人的管理上,并将根本原因宏观地总结为安全主管失职和操作工违规作业,而VPSB模型则关注的是对重大事故隐患本身和工艺过程的管理,用描述具体的次屏障失效模式来突出管理系统存在的根本性问题,其中,在机械完整性管理上的问题最多,且主要是由于管理措施未被合规执行。这为企业优化“双预”的相关工作内容提供了重点整改方向和可操作性建议。

以樟叶越桔健康愈伤组织为研究对象,采用LC−MS联用技术,对樟叶越桔愈伤组织的甲醇提取物进行分析。结果表明:正离子模式下共检测出14类共281个化合物,以萜类、生物碱类、有机酸、杂环化合物、糖苷类和醇类为主,化合物数量分别为58、41、28、24、22个和13个,相对含量分别为16.866%、13.711%、6.108%、10.138%、12.488%和17.513%;负离子模式下检测出13类共71个化合物,以生物碱类、有机酸、糖苷类、萜类和酯类为主,化合物数量分别为14、9、9、7个和7个,相对含量分别为5.839%、72.653%、3.423%、2.062%和2.735%,其中丙酮酸的相对含量高达47.474%。研究结果可为进一步开展樟叶越桔愈伤组织中主要化学成分的生产调控等研究提供参考。

Effects of effluent organic matters on endocrine disrupting chemical removal by ultrafiltration and ozonation in synthetic secondary effluent

Endocrine disrupting chemicals(EDCs) in the secondary effluent discharged from wastewater treatment plants are of great concern when water reuse is intended. Ozonation and ultrafiltration(UF) are powerful technologies reported to eliminate EDCs. Due to the importance of effluent organic matters(EfOMs) in secondary effluent, the effects of three kinds of EfOM on the treatment of five EDCs using ozonation and UF were investigated. The three kinds of EfOM studied were humic acid sodium salt(NaAH), bovine serum albumin(BSA)and sodium alginate(NaAg); and the five EDCs were estrone, 17β-estradiol, estriol, 17α-ethynyl estradiol and bisphenol A. The results showed that EfOM accelerated the decay rate of ozone and inhibited the degradation efficiency of EDCs by ozonation in the order NaAH > BSA > NaAg.The ultraviolet absorbance at 280 nm(UVA_(280)) has potential for use as a surrogate indicator to assess EDC removal via ozonation without conducting difficult EDC analyses. When the decline in UVA_(280) exceeded 18%, the five EDCs had been completely removed. The UF behavior of NaAH,BSA and NaAg was found to follow the cake filtration law. The fouling potential of EfOM followed the order NaAg > NaAH > BSA; while EfOM on the membrane surface enhanced EDC removal in the order NaAH > BSA > NaAg. The mean retention rate of the membrane was increased by 24%, 10% and 8%, respectively. The properties of EDCs and EfOM cakes both influenced the EDC removal rates due to adsorption, size exclusion and charge attraction.
